The right professionals, already lined up.
Marine permits routinely require surveys, engineering, and environmental documentation. We maintain a curated statewide network of professionals who do this work well — and we coordinate all of it for you.
Finding professionals shouldn’t be your problem
A typical dock or seawall permit can require a signed and sealed survey, structural engineering, and environmental assessment — sometimes all three. Sourcing those professionals, briefing them, chasing deliverables, and checking their work is where most permit timelines quietly fall apart.
The Tideway Network exists so that never lands on you. When your project needs a professional, we already know who does that work in your county, what it should cost, and how long it should take.
Who’s in the network
- Licensed surveyors and mappers
- Structural and coastal engineers
- Environmental consultants and biologists
- Specialty consultants as projects require
How it works
Professional work is procured, managed, and quality-checked the same way on every project.
Scoped work orders
Every professional receives a clear, written scope — exactly what deliverable is needed, in what format, for which agency. No ambiguity, no rework.
Quality standards
Deliverables are reviewed against agency requirements before they go into your permit package. If something falls short, we resolve it with the professional directly.
Coordinated schedules
We sequence surveys, engineering, and environmental work so nothing waits on anything else longer than it has to. You see one timeline, not five.
Clear scopes, prompt payment
Work is competitively procured against clearly defined scopes, and payment terms are set in each project SOW. Professionals are paid promptly on the agreed milestones — which is why good ones keep working with us.
